Guess who we discovered today perched in a tree branch just beyond our front porch? Papa Bluebird! He and Mama were keeping vigil on the tree, watching the nest closely which now has two blue eggs in it!!
I decided to move the wreath while both birds watched because of our concern for their safety and the cleanliness of our front door. We hung the wreath over the bench which sits between the two front windows, and it looks nice there. After Paul and I moved it, I went inside to watch what the birds might do next. I wanted to be sure they found their nest. I waited about five minutes, and Mama (she's a tiny bit smaller than Papa, I think) returned to the nest in its new location. I was relieved. I wanted to be sure they didn't abandon their nest.
On an entirely different note, Bennett is really into giving high fives lately. I am writing this primarily for the benefit of my sisters and their children, just so they know there is a difference between a high five and a swat. Sometimes when he gets excited, he starts swatting towards you, which at first made me concerned that he was trying to hit people! But then Paul told me he wanted a high-five (I assume this was something the boys had been doing when I was not around), and sure enough, that was what he was doing. He goes around the room high-fiving us all and squealing in delight.
